With Eurovision 2017 a little over a fortnight away, Scott Mills is on hand to introduce you to some of the hopefuls.

The BBC Radio 1 DJ has held a Eurovision party with some of this year's contestants from the likes of Ukraine, Bulgaria, Sweden and Romania, complete with party hats and a range of British delicacies like pork pies and party rings.

Julia admitted to performing in Crimea after it was annexed by Russia in 2014 and despite an offer from Eurovision to let her perform live via satellite from Moscow, Russia chose to reject the offer and quit the competition entirely.

Whether that means the UK has a better chance of winning Eurovision remains to be seen.

The 2017 Eurovision Song Contest will air on BBC One on Saturday, May 13.
